2023 Addiction Medicine Conference

Exhibitors

Acadia Healthcare

Comprehensive Treatment Centers (CTCs) offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with an addiction to opioids such as heroin or prescription painkillers. MAT offers man of the same benefits as other outpatient programs, allowing adults to receive the addiction treatment they need while still attending school or work and living at home. However, unlike other outpatient treatment programs, MAT involves a prescription for medications such as methadone, Suboxone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. These medications help adults manage the uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal that can occur when detoxing from opioids. MAT medications are proven safe and effective when taken under the direction of a healthcare professional. Along with prescription medication, CTs offer appropriate counseling, giving adults the tools they need to address any underlying mental health conditions. This can be in the form of individual, family, and group therapies. Group therapy sessions help bring adults out of isolation and cover topics such as relapse prevention, coping skills, emotion regulation, and healthy communication. The use of medication to ease withdrawal symptoms has been shown to help adults stay focused during their therapy sessions and makes them less likely to begin using opioids again. By combining medication with appropriate counseling from mental health professionals, CTs can help adults achieve happier, healthier lives free from opioid use.

Oxford House

Oxford House is a concept in recovery from substance use disorders. In its simplest form, an Oxford House describes a democratically peer-run, self-sustaining, and substance-free home. Parallel to this concept lies the organizational structure of Oxford House, Inc. This publicly supported, non-profit 501(c)3 corporation is the umbrella organization that provides the network connecting all Oxford Houses and allocates resources to duplicate the Oxford House concept where needs arise. In January of 2023, there were over 3,480 Oxford Houses throughout the United States, with over 26,000 recovery beds.

The Oxford House Model™ is based on the principles of self-help, mutual support, and personal responsibility. The organization was founded in 1975 by a group of recovering individuals who recognized the need for a safe, supportive, and affordable living environment for those in recovery. Each Oxford House is home to those recovering from a substance use disorder, including those with co-occurring mental illness. Residents of an Oxford House are expected to contribute to the household by paying an equal share of expenses, doing chores, and following the guidelines of the house. They are also expected to attend support group meetings, work, attend school, and actively participate in their own recovery.

Each house is a rented ordinary single-family house. The residents of each house receive a no-cost charter from Oxford House, Inc., the national umbrella organization for all Oxford Houses. The Charter has three conditions: (1) the group must be democratically self-run following the Oxford House Manual©; (2) the group must be financially self-supporting; and (3) the group must immediately expel any member who returns to using alcohol or illicit drugs.
